Mi and L'au
are really really special live !
WOW!
Beth Orton at spitz! With Bert Jansch!
I'm very tempted by the vetiver and adem ones aswel!
just picked up my ticket for this one.
can't wait - loving their album.
The Memory band is Adem
....
And nowhere near as good
as the over-priced Cambridge Folk festival.
Benjamin Wetherill
Benjamin Wetherill is a good thing but strange that he's on this line up just cos everybody else is pretty well known in their way - Has something good happened for him? Hope so he's good.
I saw Mi & Lau @ 'In the pines' with Josephine Foster - they where really good but I was fully baffled as to the audiences utter silent reverence: It was very welcome but I've never seen a crowd so totally pin drop quiet for a band they hadn't heard of - I am tempted to say it was because they are both model good looking rather than because of the audiences instinctive understanding of the need for attentive listening. Am I a bad person?
i saw them..
mi & lau are best described as soporific.. i think thats the word i was looking for anyway..
...
i think the audience was quiet because they were asleep?
